Mr. Griffin. What led you to believe that?
Mr. Fehrenbach. Because he had told me—now this was in, I believe on his second time that he was down there, there was some talk about Sam sending me to Chicago to work with a man there, a Mr. Levinson. I believe the man’s name was, who was a diamond setter, and this was all that he done was diamond setting and Sam wanted me to go up and work with him for a few months to learn more about diamond setting.
Anyway, we were in the middle of the plans about the second time that this Jack Rubenstein came in there and when Jack came in, he acted very friendly and wanted to know how I was and this and that, and then we in the course of the conversation, why Sam said something about my coming to Chicago maybe and working for Mr. Levinson there, and Jack said, “Fine” he said, “when you come,” he said, “I want you to come around to my place, and anything you want is on the house.”
Mr. Griffin. Indicating that he ran some sort of an entertainment place?
Mr. Fehrenbach. Right. It was either a nightclub or tavern or something, I don’t know. I never actually knew that.
Mr. Griffin. I see.
Mr. Fehrenbach. But I know Sam told me—he said, “well now,” he said “there you go; you would have to sit in the back room because you are not 21,” but he said “they have got peep holes and you can still see the show.”
I took it for granted it was a nightclub and apparently they had some kind of a show they put on there.
Mr. Griffin. Do you have any—what do you remember most about this fellow whom you called Jack Rubenstein?
Mr. Fehrenbach. The most I remember about him was he was a very nice looking fellow. He was very jolly, and he was what I would call a real character because he was always cutting up, laughing, always jolly, very happy-go-lucky more or less, so to speak.
